i have almost exactly elf warrior sometime ago, but now i think i should play Unreliable Heirloom Shield instead of quinn's Buckler

I certainly found I had more movement than necessary most of the time. That said, can one ever have too much movement? I hate 4+ blocks and avoid them whenever possible, which probably caused me to overlook lucky charm. I think of unreliable block as a dead card.

Interestingly, having almost no blocks on my warrior made me play smarter. Instead of running in and hoping my blocks would hold, I'd avoid combat until the skirmish was in my favour.

i used to think the same with the elf party, but i found that the heirloom is more stronger that i initialy thougth. The free card means a lot for your elf that can carry it wothout sacrificating almost anything (can save the quicks runs or mighty blungeons) and the +4 block its not too much reliable to rely on it so you still playing smart to avoid dangerous situations that you cant leave but with the plus that sometimes that 4+ does his job.

Also, if you dislike using unreliable block: imagine a reverse situation where you have powerful bludgeon and aoa in hand but an enemy character with unreliable block is facing you. No-one wants to be in that situation!
